#439564 Video Friday: NASA Sending Robots to ...Video Friday is your weekly selection of awesome robotics videos, collected by your Automaton bloggers. It’s ICRA this week, but since the full proceedings are not yet available, we’re going to wait until we can access everything to cover the conference properly. Or, as properly as we can not being in Xi’an right now. We’ll also be posting a weekly calendar of upcoming robotics events for the next few months; here's what we have so far (send us your events!): RoboCup 2021 – June 22-28, 2021 – [Online Event]RSS 2021 – July 12-16, 2021 – [Online Event]Humanoids 2020 – July 19-21, 2021 – [Online Event]DARPA SubT Finals – September 21-23, 2021 – Louisville, KY, USAWeRobot 2021 – September 23-25, 2021 – Coral Gables, FL, USAIROS 2021 – September 27-1, 2021 – [Online Event]ROSCon 2021 – October 21-23, 2021 – New Orleans, LA, USALet us know if you have suggestions for next week, and enjoy today's videos.
[ NASA ] Skydio has officially launched their 3D Scan software, turning our favorite fully autonomous drone into a reality capture system.
Skydio held a launch event at the U.S. Space & Rocket Center and the keynote is online; it's actually a fairly interesting 20 minutes with some cool rockets thrown in for good measure.

[ DFKI ] The Harvard Microrobotics Lab has developed a soft robotic hand with dexterous soft fingers capable of some impressive in-hand manipulation, starting (obviously) with a head of broccoli.
Training soft robots in simulation has been a bit of a challenge, but the researchers developed their own simulation framework that matches the real world pretty closely:
The simulation framework is avilable to download and use, and you can do some nutty things with it, like simulating tentacle basketball:
I’d pay to watch that IRL.
[ JPL ] Genesis Robotics is working on something, and that's all we know.

[ DFKI ] For $6.50, a NEXTAGE robot will make an optimized coffee for you. In Japan, of course.
[ Impress ] Things I’m glad a robot is doing so that I don’t have to: dross skimming.
